A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO ,
How Seth Warner Won a Wife and Be-

came Famous.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont
the famous hero OF the Revolutionary
war, was leading fighter for the
Hampshirs grants.
These titles were disputed by the
State Of New York, and it's authorities
obtained an edict of the King Of Eng
land in their favor. The settlers
were stung by the supposed injustice.
This state of things brought Colonel
Seth Warner to the front. With
Ethan Allen and others he actively
opposed every effort of the New York
state authorities to enforce possession,
and finally he, with Allen and others,
were outlawed and q price put on
their heads!
To circumvent New York, it was
necessary that some one should go
into that state and gain required in
formation. Colonel Warner, assum-
ing for safety the name of 'Dr.
Howard" undertook this perilous and
romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped
at a country inn, where an old gentle
man and daughter were storm bound.
The father fell i'll and the daughter
called upon Colonel Warner, who
with his wide knowledge of simple
remedies, successfully treated the
"old man." and he finally won this
devoted woman for q wife.
Such Incidents were not uncommon
in those years. When the doctor was
not easily reached, months of sickness,
and even life were often saved by
some unprofessional friend versed in
the use of simple herbs and roots.
The health of early settlers and their
powers of endurance convinces us
thai such medicines did only good
and left no poison in the blood to
work as much injury to the system as
would the disease Itself.
In time of peace the colonel was
in constant demand for his knowledge
of simple remedies and their power
over disease. But it was left to an
other of his name of the present age
to give to the public what was then
used with such positive success.
Warner for over a hundred years
has shared with Ethan Allen the adj
miration of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to a
family of. wide distinction; no less
than eight members thereof won
fame in the regular practice of medi-
cine.
Looking to the adoption by the
people of this generation of the old
time simple remedies, his direct de-
scendant, HI. H. Warner, the well.
known proprietor of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been ex
perimenting with old time roots and
herbs formule and, his search having
been finally rewarded with success, he
gives the world the result. These
recipes and formule in other days
accomplished great things because
they were purely vegetable and com
bined simply SO as to cure the disease
indicated, without injury to the sys
tenn. In harmony with their ole
time character, we learn that he pro
poses to call them Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies, using as a trade
mark an old-fashioned American log
cabin. We understand that he in
tends to put forth ''Sarsaparilla'
for the blood, the sarsaparilla itsel
being but one of number of simple
and effective elements; LOG Cabir
Hops and Buchu," general stomach
tonic and invigorator; LOG Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy,

the hair; a preparation for that uni
versal disease catarrh, called LOG
CABIN Rose Cream;" warmers Log
Cabin Plasters;" and warmers Log
Cabin Liver Pills" which are to be
used in connection with the Other
remedies, or Independently, as re,
quired.
Warmers safe remedies are already
standards of the most pronounced
scientific value in all parts of the
world, and we have no doubt the Log
Cabin Remedies, for the diseases
they are intended to cure, will be Of
equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the
reputation of connecting his name
with no preparation that is not mer,
